[Hiring] Engineering Manager @Parity

Role Description

We're hiring an Engineering Manager who combines people leadership with strong delivery and project management. This isn't a hands-on coding role, but you'll need enough technical depth to understand architecture, engage credibly with engineers, and support sound decision-making.

• Focus on team health, execution, planning, and cross-functional coordination.
• Help the team navigate trade-offs, timelines, and stakeholder expectations.
• A background as a Technical Project Manager or Engineering Manager in a deeply technical environment would be a strong fit.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and support a team of around 9 engineers within one of our functions.
• Create a healthy, high-trust team environment with a strong focus on people management and team care.
• Drive planning, prioritisation, and execution across complex technical workstreams.
• Negotiate timelines and delivery trade-offs with stakeholders in a clear and pragmatic way.
• Build enough technical context to understand architecture discussions and help translate them into executable plans.
• Partner closely with technical leaders and contributors to keep projects moving and unblock delivery.
• Improve team ways of working, communication, and delivery predictability in a distributed environment.
• Support hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development of team members as the organisation grows.

Qualifications

• Experience leading engineering or highly technical teams in an Engineering Manager or Technical Project Manager capacity.
• Strong people management skills, with a track record of building healthy teams and supporting individual growth.
• Excellent project and delivery management skills, including planning, dependency management, and stakeholder communication.
• Sufficient technical depth to understand complex system architecture and work effectively with senior engineers.
• Comfort operating in a role that is more focused on leadership and delivery than on hands-on coding.
• Strong judgement when balancing technical complexity, team wellbeing, and delivery outcomes.
• Experience working with distributed teams, ideally across Europe or closely aligned European time zones.
• Nice to have: experience in similarly technical or infrastructure-heavy environments.
